The NCAA rid itself of an antiquated and questionable rule that’s been in place for years Tuesday when they announced that athletics departments could feed their student-athletes unlimited meals and snacks.

The first reaction of anyone might be: “No, duh!” However, the rule has been a bone of contention for a while with some schools self-reporting violations of athletes eating extra pasta at meals. It’s no longer a worry – for programs that can afford it.

The University of Akron athletics department announced much of its non-conference schedule Friday afternoon completing scheduling for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.

In addition to games previously announced against Oklahoma, the Zips announced dates with Savannah State at InfoCision Sept. 19, 2015 in the schools’ first ever meeting, In addition, a date against VMI was announced for Sept. 1, 2016.
